In just over 1 months time, Hokkaido will be fading away into the horizon as I begin my journey south to Hyogo.
After many joy-filled years of living, working and snowboarding here in the north, it is time for Michiko and I to begin the next step in our lives. We are relocating to Takarazuka city (well an area very close to Takarazuka called Yamamoto...to be precise).
For those of you who are unsure as to where in Japan Takarazuka is, here are a couple of pictures to help.

Tying in with this move, I've decided to start a blog about the first 12 months of this adventure (perhaps I'll write for longer, we'll see). I have no doubts that this is going to be a very exciting, and fun filled time, and you're all welcome to follow!!
